I have combination dehydrated skin that produces sebum in my pores very quickly and in large amounts, especially on my nose. Even with daily whiteheads management, they seem to reappear in the blink of an eye. However, when I gently roll this product on my nose using a cotton pad, the sebum comes right out! Of course, it doesn't remove 100% of it, but it does extract a significant amount of sebum without any irritation. It's amazing how even after I thought I had cleansed thoroughly, this essence still manages to remove more sebum when I wipe with it.
ConsI didn't even realize it had been discontinued... When I bought an essence, the staff generously provided many mini essence samples, so I wasn't aware it was no longer available. Also, when applied, it doesn't feel exactly moisturizing, but rather has a slippery texture. It's not just smooth, but more of a slick-smooth feeling, if that makes sense? While it's fine on my face, I always make sure to wash off any residue left on my hands because it feels uncomfortably greasy.
TipApply it to a cotton pad and gently roll over areas with sebum concerns! Even if you're not using it as a cosmetic product, you can dispense a generous amount onto your hands, apply it all over your face, and roll it as if you're washing your face. You'll see the sebum coming out in little clumps!

When I apply foundation, there's no flaking, and it helps calm down dead skin cells. Plus, it's fragrance-free, so I can use it without any worries!
ConsTo be honest, it might be too slippery for those with oily skin... It doesn't seem to absorb well. You have to pat it in a lot to get it to absorb, and even after that, it still feels greasy and looks shiny.
TipI add a few drops to my dry foundation before using it.

It keeps my skin hydrated while I'm drying my hair and doing other things. The best part is how it instantly makes my skin feel softer after use.
ConsPerhaps because it's alcohol-free, it has a slightly slippery texture.

I even repurchased it! Just applying this alone has significantly improved my skin texture. I have an oily T-zone, so I used to only use an exfoliating toner, but during seasonal changes, my cheeks got too dry. Now I apply this after the exfoliating toner, and the next day, my skin isn't greasy, and my cheeks feel super soft. While using it, I kept thinking, 'Why has my skin improved so much?' - that's how effective it was! Except during my period (can't help that, I guess), my skin stayed blemish-free, soft, and glowing! I'm also reassured by the fact that it's 100% Galactomyces, so I use it with confidence.
ConsThe texture feels a bit slippery. It made me think, 'Isn't this too oily? I have combination dehydrated skin.' But when I asked my sister to touch my face, she said it felt incredibly moisturized. Maybe the feeling is different for the person applying it versus the person seeing it... I have very oily T-zone, so I only use an exfoliating toner. I wouldn't recommend this to people who prioritize texture. Also, if fermented ingredients don't suit you well, I wouldn't suggest this product.
TipThe store staff recommended using it with a cotton pad. They said it also has an exfoliating effect. I use an exfoliating toner both morning and night. My morning routine is: after cleansing, essence on cotton pad → toner → emulsion → sunscreen. At night, I keep it simple: essence on cotton pad → another layer of essence just on cheeks → moisturizer.

Usually, everything breaks me out, so I don't expect much from skincare. But this... I can confidently say it's made a noticeable difference. It's clear that this product is responsible for the improvement in my skin.
ConsAs someone with oily skin, the slightly slick feeling is a bit bothersome. While it's enough to dock a star, I'm giving it 5 stars because 3 or 4 stars wouldn't do justice to this excellent product, even though others seem to have lowered their ratings for similar reasons. Since it doesn't absorb well, I use a cotton pad to remove excess moisture from my face before applying.
TipSince it doesn't absorb quickly, I'd recommend patting your face dry a bit before using this product for best results.

If fermented ingredients work for you, you need to buy this. Buy it once, buy it twice. I use it as my first essence year-round, regardless of the season. After this, I still apply my toner. My skin feels softer overall (not just right after application, but the skin itself), and it's more hydrated. My boyfriend even noticed my skin looks better... I tried using a different brand's toner for a while because I wanted to try something new, but when I came back to this one, he pointed it out. My makeup also applies better when I use this as my first essence. However, if fermented ingredients don't agree with your skin, no matter how effective it is for others, it won't work for you, unfortunately!
ConsIf you're not compatible with fermented ingredients, you absolutely shouldn't use this. Also, if you dislike the slightly slippery feeling when applying, I wouldn't recommend it. To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of that feeling either, but I use it anyway because it works so well. And if you're looking for a cooling sensation or immediate hydration upon application, I wouldn't recommend this either. It doesn't feel particularly moisturizing right when you put it on.
TipI was also scared to use fermented skincare products at first, but I took the plunge with this one. The Saem even gives you a small bottle as a gift with purchase. I started by applying it in the evening and using my regular products in the morning. It worked well for me, so I've continued using it. If you've never tried fermented skincare before, make sure to do a patch test a few times. The effects don't show up immediately, but gradually become noticeable over time.

It's the only product that hasn't caused any adverse reactions, even on areas affected by atopic dermatitis!
ConsWhile the hydration is no joke, it feels a bit slippery, which was a bit strange when I first used it.
TipI pour it into a small spray bottle and mist it on right after cleansing.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsEven though I have oily skin that lacks hydration, I can use this 100% formula without any issues. It's a water-based product that feels moist and slippery, but if you pat it in to absorb, it's not sticky at all! Being 100% fermented, it definitely improves skin texture faster than other brands' products. I can't find any downsides to using this, honestly! In the morning, I use it lightly as a cleansing toner, and at night, I apply it generously and let it absorb. I've been using it for over a month, and just by changing to this one product, people have noticed my skin has improved! It takes care of dead skin cells too, so no matter what foundation I use, my skin texture is smooth and makeup applies beautifully. It really makes you realize the importance of skincare... This isn't super famous, but those who know about it stock up and use it regularly. Truthfully, it's a product I almost want to keep secret for myself!
ConsThere's nothing I dislike about it, but for those who don't like rich textures, you might think it's too slippery at first application. But don't worry at all. Once it's absorbed, your skin feels soft and smooth. It's not sticky. Actually, I dislike sticky textures like some firming creams... That's why I'm using this one so well.
TipWhen you have flaky skin or your skin feels dry and tight, it's really great to soak a cotton pad with this and use it as a quick mask for a few minutes! Also, it's wise to stock up during sales... You start using it once or twice, and it works so well that you end up using it often, so it runs out quickly!

It's great that the only ingredient is 100% Galactomyces. I've been using it for two years now, and I've received many compliments on how my complexion has noticeably improved.
ConsThe texture feels a bit slippery when applying. I'm not a big fan of slippery textures, but considering its effectiveness, I can tolerate it.

I loved that there was no tightness. This is especially great for me since I have extremely dry skin deep down.
ConsOn the other hand, unlike some products that feel like they evaporate like toner, this one felt a bit slippery or oily, which I'm not particularly fond of.
